I eat meat, but elephants are a little too intelligent for me to be ok with their meat. I’m also not starving and in a drought, so that would probably change my mind…

Your angry reply is cute. I simply didn’t know he was bi. Almost like this is a TIL thread. You can move along and stir a pot somewhere else, internet troll.

Girlfriend, you say?

Stop plunging? When it bottoms out, everything I’ve read says when it bottoms out. The insulated one was on sale, and I can’t remember ever seeing a regular metal french press. I have thrown mine in the dishwasher. I usually just rinse it, or quick hand wash it, but I’ve tossed it in the dishwasher plenty.

I use an insulated FP because the glass ones would break after a year or so of just standard use. The insulated metal one I’ve had is going on 13 years now. I have only recently had to replace the plunger, as it wore out and was allowing grinds to pass on the side.

Sure, sorry was heading to bed when I wrote that last one and forgot all about it. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/life-sim/former-dev-from-sunken-sims-competitor-life-by-you-alleges-the-team-had-the-rug-pulled-from-under-them-despite-outperforming-the-company-s-internal-metrics/ Edit: also, the latest conspiracy is that EA payed off Paradox interactive to pull the project…but that is pretty fringe and far fetched.

Some interesting info coming out from the shuttered dev about this debacle…

Was really hoping this one would help get more competition in the Sims game spot. What EA has done with the sims with the nickle and dime content purchases really turned me off to EA. The game itself was enjoyable.

I just played it last month for a few hours. Really wish we could get a spiritual successor.

Spaghetti (most pasta/sauce combos), chili.

Shit off still works I think!

I’ve never had red beans and rice, but that looks like something I would like.

Any one else notice that we keep having ‘news’ stories about peoples opinions? I was watching the actual news (don’t do that much lately) and the 80% of their ‘reporting’ was getting peoples hot takes on what happened. Like, wtf do I care what some random fuck who was filling their gas tank up while you were on site ‘reporting’ thinks about some kids stealing shit from that gas station?

Came here to ask the same question.

Lol yes…yes I do! I didn’t know it was banned because it was played quite a bit on whatever I used to watch. Man I want to say G4 but I’m not sure the time lines work out.

The only thing I can think, is it was marketed to those ‘cool’ parents. “Like, wow man! My kid needs this edgy game!” Even that’s a stretch…

Yeah, I’m not sure who kicked it off but the Nintendo, Sega wars in the 80s kind of started with the quirky ‘edgy’ crap and that carried over into the PS/Xbox era. The Nintendo power mags had some seriously nonsense ads and the tv commercials kind of ran the gambit. A lot of ‘we’re gamers, parents just wouldn’t understand’ type ads. Here’s one that even teen me was like ‘wtf?’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-qBkWerZDg

Yeah I enjoyed OW for a bit. Me and the gf would play mayhem mode when it was up. We stopped playing when they forced the change to OW2 and took some of the skins. I miss ow, but have no desire to play OW2.

Thankfully you can’t even purchase it anymore on Steam… What a debacle.

It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.
